Man, Transmetropolitan is god-tier comics. I'm sure Patrick Stewart said he'd have loved to play him but was already too old.
Corey Stoll IMO

That's how I watch it too, the show is stunning
It's funny, Outside Harry and the Empire crew (android included) I don't like the characters very much, especially the Warden. I love that smooth Lester is in this and her dad, he's too slick. Gaal is okay, but I felt they dropped the ball on her romance with Harry's protege in ep1. They rushed it and made me not care about it, and when it was brought up here again, it just felt like a waste of screen time. At least that's done now. The actress is a great narrator, love her voice.
My grievances with the characters is fitting though, as I didn't really care for any character in the book outside our brief time with Harry and Gaal, but I loved the world. Same applies here, I love the universe and the world building. It's also one of the best looking shows out there too. That Empire ship crash in Ep 5 was amazing in 4K on my giant tv/surround sound. My whole room shook lol
I'm mixed on some things, but each time an episode comes out, I can't wait to watch it.

Ruby Rose Reveals Horrifying Set Conditions on Batwoman, Slams Berlanti Productions/Warner Bros. Television Chairman and Co-Stars.
Former Batwoman star Ruby Rose opened up about the horrific working conditions she faced on the CW Arrowverse series, which she exited after one season.
"Enough is enough," Rose wrote on Instagram, calling out showrunner Caroline Dries and Bertalnti Proudctions' Greg Berlanti and Sarah Schechter. "I'm going to tell the whole world what really happened on that set. [Former Warner Bros. Television Group Chairman] Peter Roth, you are first up. You are chapter one. not sure if you left after getting promoted to the highest position because you couldn't stop making young women steam your pants, around your crotch while you were still wearing said pants or if you left after putting a private investigator on me who you fired as soon as the report didn't fit your narrative. either way, when it comes to you, there's already an army waiting for u."
Rose went on to share videos from a doctor's office pertaining to the neck injury she suffered while filming Batwoman, which was previously documented to some degree. She also pointed out a major rib injury and a tumor, and shared a video from her neck surgery, writing, "To everyone who said I was too stiff on bawoman, imagine going back to work 10 days after this ... 10 DAYS!!!!!! (or the whole crew and cast would be fired and I'd let everyone down because Peter Roth said he wouldn't recast and i just lost the studio millions (by getting injured on his set) that is be the one who cost so many people their jobs."
Next up, Rose shared a video of a message she delivered to announce she wouldn't be at Comic-Con International: San Diego in 2019. "Imagine having to take a pay cut to play a passion project and being so excited about Comic-Con and then being told they would not adjust the schedule so I could attend... but then saying 'we won't announce it, you have to,'" she wrote.
"So in closing, please to my dear, dear fans stop asking if I will return to that awful show, I wouldn't return for any amount of money nor if a gun were to my head.. NOR DID I QUIT," Rose continued. "I DO NOT QUIT, They ruined Kate Kane and they destroyed batwoman, not me. I followed orders, and if I wanted to stay i was going to have to sign my rights away[...] A crew member got 3rd degree burns over his whole body, and we were given no therapy after witnessing his skin fall off his face but I was the only one who sent him flowers and cards and then were told we had to do a sex scene without a minute to process, we lost 2 stunt doubles, i got cut in the face so close to my eye in a stunt I could have been blind. a woman was left quadriplegic and they tried to blame it on her being on her phone, so much so CW didn't even help her to start with because they needed to 'investigate' so she had to do a go fund me... she's a PA, they work via phones. Her accident occurred because our show refused to shut down when everyone else did because of Covid.
"[Caroline Dries] has no heart and wanted us to finish the season throughout the pandemic and I told her it was a bad idea... i told her everyone was too distracted, constantly checking Covid updates checking on friends and seeing riverdale, the flash and super girl shut down already, i felt something bad would happen and [Dries] maybe visited the set 4 times in a year... UNHEARD OF.."
Rose noted that when Batwoman did finally shut down during the pandemic, it wasn't because of the aforementioned incident that left someone paralyzed but because "the government pulled it." She also discussed how her co-star Dougray Scott "hurt a female stunt double he yelled like a little bitch at women and was a nightmare. He left when he wanted and arrived when he wanted he abused women and in turn as a lead of a show i sent an email out asking for a no yelling policy, they declined.."

Cliffs:
- Ruby Rose is exposing the Batwoman execs Caroline Dries, Sarah Schechter, Greg Berlanti, and Peter Roth, president of WBTV, for the way they mistreated her and others during her time on the show.
- Rose said she was forced to go back to work 10 days after her surgery (due to a neck injury she sustained while filming Batwoman) and the higher-ups threaten to fire the whole crew and cast if she didn't comply.
- According to Rose, a crew member got 3rd degree burns across his body including face, a sex scene was filmed without prep, they lost two stunt doubles, Rose was almost blinded and a PA was left a quadriplegic and was forced to start a Gofundme.
- Rose claims Batwoman showrunner Caroline Dries wanted them to work through COVID while other shows shut down. She only went to set 4-5 times in the year. Actor Dougray Scott yelled at and mistreated people. Rose calls Camrus Johnson (who plays Luke Fox/Batwing) a “egomaniac” who apparently blamed her and leaked info.
- After Rose’s surgery WB wouldn’t provide transportation and told her to “get a taxi”.
